Exclamation Miss fire

I have a 2001 f250 with the 7.3 and 73, 000 miles . i was coming home and the truck power just diminished to nothing i limped home with it barely running. i staled out right in my friends drive way. i thought it was the cps sensor but they think its a bad injector. We pulled the valve cover to see what was wrong and unplugged each injector on the drivers side to see if it got any worse. We could not really find it so it is back together and runs now but shakes and has a rough idle and very little power and a lot of lag. Any sugestions

Did you check the UVCH connector on the drivers side to make sure it wasn't loose like this?


Did the engine run real rough like it wasn't firing on all cylinders or just seem to have no power? If it runs really rough you could pull the passenger valve cover and do the same check, or OHM the wires at the connector to look for an issue in the wiring.
